What Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Includes in Tunica
A visible pool is only the start of flood water removal and structural drying in Tunica. Subfloors and wall bases may still need drying.
After visible water is removed, damp framing and subfloors still need controlled drying. Studs, joists, wall cavities, and concrete can retain moisture at different depths. The work includes air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture mapping, and wall cavity drying.
A plumber stops a broken supply pipe. The restoration crew extracts the released water and dries floors, walls and cabinets around it.

- Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
